The Duchess of Cambridge has become one of many royal visitors to New Zealand. The first was Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, second son of Queen Victoria. He arrived in Wellington in 1869 as Captain of HMS Galatea.

There were also some strong reactions to the royals' visit. When the duke and duchess arrived at Auckland harbour, an aircraft flew over the crowd towing a banner expressing the view that some would prefer a native head of state.
